  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 large white onion, diced small
  • 2 tsp. garlic, minced (about 2 cloves)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Noodles of choice (ramen noodles, rice noodles, egg noodles, etc.)

Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. mirin
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp. hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp. fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Sriracha (optional)

Garnishes (optional)

  • Finely sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl or mason jar, combine 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp. mirin, 1 tsp. fresh minced ginger, 1 tsp. hoisin sauce, 1 tsp. fish sauce, and 1 Tbsp. Sriracha if using. Stir or shake to mix well and set aside.
  2. Cook Aromatics: Heat 1 Tbsp. sesame oil and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil together in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced 1/2 large white onion and 2 tsp. minced garlic. Stir frequently and cook about 5 minutes until onions are tender and fragrant.
  3. Brown the Ground Beef: Add 1 lb. ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Sauce and Green Onions: Pour the prepared sauce over the browned beef. Add the chopped 2 green onions and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Prepare Noodles: Meanwhile, cook your noodles of choice according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  6. Serve: Remove the beef mixture from heat. Serve immediately over the prepared noodles. Garnish with extra sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • You can use any type of noodles for this dish—ramen, rice noodles, or egg noodles all work wonderfully.
  • Adjust the level of spice by modifying or omitting the Sriracha.
  • For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar to the sauce.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • To keep it gluten-free, ensure soy sauce is tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
